The processing is a little odd. It leaves one of the tree branches looking disembodies, with both ends just floating in space (above the rightmost mailbox). And the leftmost mailbox has an odd blur to it. Still, the concept isn't bad.

Is post a language? Even a letter is not really Language, but I will allow it anyway, as I see a strong connection to communication, and the use of language

I presume you in Processing went for the blown out sky, especially seeing the effect that this processing had on the tree. The stark look is one that can work effectively, but the loss of detail on the tree etc I think hurts it here.. The range of shades through the photo is good (ignoring the sky) with everything from black through white present.

mail boxes are really cool we either dread what we get in them or are pleasantly surprised with the contents
